He has to go drink irradiated water from some nuked mine on an abandoned planet because he took his helmet off to show his face to the kid, one time? Give me a ****ing break.

My biggest problem with DS9 was how everybody had to constantly tapdance around the Bajorans and their silly religious crap. That show didn't get good until that aspect took a distant backseat to the Dominion War.
I’m ok with it so long as the arc of the story is him ultimately moving away from the cult. And given that he has taken his helmet off once before, I’m hopeful that is where they are going with this. If not, then yeah, it’ll get old and stale.

I get it, man.

Of all the things man has invented, nothing has been more destructive than religion.

Nothing is more dangerous than true believers justifying actions through their religion.

The Death Watch is a religious cult, after all.

I kind of see him spending this season gathering the non-Death Watch Mandos to complete his cult-y quest, and over time realizing it is bullshit.

But put yourself in the shoes of Djin Djarrin. He was saved and raised by Death Watch nut jobs. He’s a true believer as a result because that stuff is ingrained in him.

Yeah, I kind of get the impression they're trying to show that Mando is starting to see his cult origins for what they are. Even the Armorer showed a brief moment of acceptance.

I hope this is the direction they are going

I personally think the religious cults/pragmatic leader conflict between the Armorer and BoKatan Mando faces is pretty fascinating. I'll be disappointed if they don't dive into the conflict, even if it's some Disney-fied outcome of everybody falling in behind Mando, the conflict of belief is the important part.

Looks like they're diving headlong into spending money here. Shit looked good.

Let's ****ing go!

Agreed. That's where this is gonna end up. Also, I'm sure Pedro Pascal doesn't want to act with a helmet on for the rest of his time on this show (and this show looks like it's gonna have a pretty long run).

Yep. Read something that they really don't have an endgame for this so it's going to be a lot of 'danger of the week's type scenarios.

Katee Sackhoff is still hot as balls.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Battlestar Galactica was nearly 20 years ago now, and she hasn't lost a step. :drool:

that space battle was utterly spectacular

love the design of the pirates and reintroducing not IG-88

giant hyperspace whales from rebels showing up is going to be intredasting

4K is ****ing NUTS! and i'm not sure if it's the audio processor on the new TV, or the fact I had to run the speakers through an optical cable for the first time (old vizio used 3.5mm to RCA stereo cable), but the sound design was utterly banging like never before
